And to be honest,the answer I now give anyone that asks me is,while I enjoy all of those things,I just love the feel of Las Vegas.Coming from a quite town in Cumbria,I just love being in a feel good place like Vegas.We don't have to be doing anything specific,we just love being there.....So god willing,there will be plenty more trips to come.

Brats64, Good answer! I'm from Cumbria too. We first went in Dec 2000 and have our 20th trip coming up in March, and the flights booked for the 21st in October.

you can wear a bandana or a beanie
honestly, even the tightest fitting peaked hat is likely to fly off, you really wouldn't want to wear one!

MMM a beanie to hot and not sure how to wear a bandana (I am getting old). Definitely want to wear a hat or covering. I dont go outside anywhere when in Vegas without a hat

Just booked trip number 7 to Vegas.
We were only there in August last year,and each time I look out of the bedroom window on the final night of our trip,I wonder if it will be the last time I visit.......Well we have managed to wait until January,and booked to go next month.....Six months wait isn't to bad .
We only started going in 2004 and friends and relatives ask us,what is it that makes you want to keep going back.To be honest,I wasn't really sure what it was.Was it the gambling,the shows,the weather or dining options ?
Was it the shopping or the tours ?.......And to be honest,the answer I now give anyone that asks me is,while I enjoy all of those things,I just love the feel of Las Vegas.Coming from a quite town in Cumbria,I just love being in a feel good place like Vegas.We don't have to be doing anything specific,we just love being there.....So god willing,there will be plenty more trips to come.

That sums it up for us too

Another one in this camp...people think we are weird to keep going back time and time again...but I am almost certain that if we went somewhere else...we would have a good time but would constantly be thinking 'but it's not Vegas'.

Less than 2 months for us now...and we're also thinking about October.

We feel that way too!!!We have just booked for June staying in the Mirage( we stayed there last June and really loved it),flying direct with Virgin from Manchester,and the first thing I did was to see if I could book seats yet.Unfortunately I can only pre book 90 days before so I will be on pins til I've managed to do it!!
We only started going in 2008 and this will be our 9th trip and to be honest I really don't want to go anywhere else as Vegas just has everything we want from a holiday.I sometimes feel I recommend it that much to people I should get commision,ha ha!!

My OH says every year about having a beach/Spanish holiday and I throw a major strop and before I know it he's booked Vegas.He does admit though he doesn't really want to go anywhere else he just does it to get me going!!You could always try that!!!!

You can wear it when you're not in the scooter! But they definitely won't let you wear it and even if you did, I guarantee it would blow off!
